News

This a minor update of Java-front. In this release, the embedding of Java in Stratego has been improved and generalized, to make it reusable for embedding in other programming languages.

Java Syntax Definition

• Generalized parameterized types to allow any type as actual type argument. The actual limitation to reference type of the current Java version should be enforced by semantic checks, since it is a semantic limitation.

• Introduced a general sort (Modifier) for all modifiers.

Java Embedding in Stratego

• e is now a meta variable for the left-hand side of an assignment.

• Added quotations for variables, quotations, names, and modifiers.

• Added disambiguations to support disabling of heuristic filters in SGLR. These can be disabled by specifying HeuristicFilters(Off) in the .meta file. See the news of StrategoXT 0.13 for more information.

• Removed the quotation with explicit disambiguation for a list of block statement. This is always ambiguous with a single block statement, which only shows up if you disable the heuristic filters of sglr.
